Turtlesale.com????

Question

i used to reccomend turtlessale.com, but lately I have been hearing stories of their turtles arriving dead or crushed...is that true???

Answer 1

Yes, many times due to poor packaging and such the turtles, usually the small babies that they sell to be shipped arrive dead or in very poor condition only to die shortly after arriving. I've checked multiple forums in the past when I used to keep turtles and I even posted questions on those forums but most of the replies and comments made were just saying that turtlesale.com was very bad, the turtles never arrived in good shape, and the fact that they purposely sell two headed or blind turtles for profit bothered many including myself. If you plan on purchasing a turtle in the near future, I think you should look elsewhere for a purchases, preferably some place hwere you won't have to ship or at least find a breeder thats willing to work with you on shipping and care b4 your turtle is shipped off. sorry if this sounds like im telling you not to after all you did reccomend using turtlesale, i just think that there are other places to find turtles...

Answer 2

I have never heard anything good about them. People get sickly turtles, their prices are high, and any place that sells deformed turtles with no eyes is questionable to me. you can go to the following link and go to Board of Inquiry and type in their name to do a search and you will see dozens of reviews about them. You may have to register in order to do a search.
